Cloud Computing Thought Leader David S. Linthicum Launches Free Cloud Computing Webinar Series

December 17: “Where SOA Meets Cloud Computing”

David S. Linthicum, a well-known pioneer in the worlds of cloud computing and service-oriented architecture, is launching a free cloud computing Webinar series sponsored by Blue Mountain Labs.

The first Webinar will be held on December 17 at 2:00 p.m. EST, and is entitled "Where SOA Meets Cloud Computing. The Webinar is free, and you can register here.

Where SOA Meets Cloud Computing
While SOA provides a framework for approaching architecture for the enterprise, the use of cloud computing resources, in the context of SOA, provides additional value. Indeed, SOA, while bringing agility to the IT infrastructure, also prepares the enterprise to leverage cloud computing by creating the necessary interfaces. This symbiotic relationship between the concepts is further able to drive the enterprise to a state where services and processes may be run inside or outside of the firewall, as required by the business. In essence extending your SOA out to the platform of the Web, where and when needed, to reduce costs and take advantage of Internet delivered resources that provide access to pre-built processes and services, as well as access to platforms delivered as-a-service.

In this Webinar Linthicum will take the mystery out of cloud computing, and its use within the context of SOA, including the business case, the core notion, enabling technology, and steps to get to where you need to go. This Webinar is not about general concepts, it's about setting a course for your enterprise towards a more agile, powerful, efficient, and cost-effective approach to IT that will allow the business to scale, and at the same time reducing costs.  The Webinar will not only tell you what's going on, but how to do it. Step by step.

Cloud Expo Breaking News
Why are APIs so important in clouds? Do APIs have to be open? How fast or slow will standardization in the cloud be? Why is ensuring high availability for the cloud service critical? In his session at the 10th International Cloud Expo, Mårten Mickos, CEO of Eucalyptus Systems, will answer these questions and address cloud standards, APIs and the critical question: Will we end up with one, two or more competing cloud standards? And, how will this affect the evolution and adoption of cloud comput...
Very few trends in IT have generated as much buzz as cloud computing. In his session at the 10th International Cloud Expo, Mark Hinkle, Director, Cloud Computing Community at Citrix, will cut through the hype and quickly clarify the ontology for cloud computing. The bulk of the conversation will focus on the open source software that can be used to build compute clouds (infrastructure-as-a-service) and the complementary open source management tools that can be combined to automate the management...
The proliferation of device connectivity is redefining the functionality requirements and capabilities of many embedded systems as more and more of these devices look to leverage the “Cloud.” While many commercial software and hardware component vendors have begun to realign their value propositions to satisfy growing demand, commercial-off-the-shelf products (COTS) alone cannot meet every OEM’s needs. As a result, the Embedded Cloud has injected a new level of uncertainty and a new competitive ...
